#Amazon said it had established communications with all of the satellites, and the sequence of turning them on was “proceeding as planned.” The #FCC’s approval of the constellation came with a requirement that at least half 📊 the #satellites needed to be deployed by 📆 July 30, 2026. Industry analysts say the company could get an extension if it has demonstrated substantial progress by then https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/science/amazon-kuiper-launch-ula.html

Let's assume #Europe 🇪🇺 is successful and reaches a cadence of 10 launches per year 😂 with the #Ariane6 rocket. One-tenth of the annual subsidy is $35 million. One-hundredth of the development cost is $40 million.

Therefore, European #taxpayers are subsidizing every launch of #satellites for Jeff #Bezos by roughly $75 million 💰 https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/oops-it-looks-like-the-ariane-6-rocket-may-not-offer-europe-any-launch-savings/#page-2

#Space 🌌 is undergoing a revolution* comparable with the growth of the #internet 🌐 20 years ago, and like the internet, this will affect all domains of life.

Our society is now utterly dependent on the #satellites 🛰️ that orbit #Earth. The #communications 📶 and #navigation 🧭 services that they make possible are so interwoven in our everyday lives that in the #UK 🇬🇧, #space is classed as one of 13 critical national #infrastructure sectors. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/26/europe-moon-space-race-esa-india-russia-china-japan
